"I was hiding under your porch because I love you..."

After a day of running errands, I treated myself to Up!. As usual, Pixar did not disappoint. It treated a difficult subject with delicacy and whimsy and a great deal of respect. I cried a lot (S.O.P. with me and Pixar films), and laughed even more. It was lovely, and in spite of my misgivings, much like the ones I had before going to see WALL*E, I was absolutely charmed.

I loved the dog. I loved all the characters, really, but the dog especially. "My name is Doug! I have just met you and I love you! I was going to... SQUIRREL!" Awww. <3

Anyway, yes. Much love for the movie. Much, much love.

Doug is so great.

The other dogs were funny too. "We like you temporarily!"

We are coming to the very frightening realization that Carter is an incarnation of Grimshackle:

"Hi! I'm here! Look, see, this is me, being here! Pet me! That hand isn't petting me! That hand! That one right there that I have my nose under - it could be petting me, you know! Ahhhhhhh. That's better!"

I cried too. Like in the first 10 minutes.

And, it's funny cause the squirrels dead.

I love dogs. When I have my own house I am totally going to have at least one. :)

All the dogs were pretty fun, but Doug was awesome. I think "I was hiding under your porch because I love you," is my current favourite movie line of all time.

Hee!

My cats have much in common with Carter and Grimshackle. "Mum! Your hand! It's doing stuff other than petting me! No no no, *this* hand, right here, the one I'm poking with my nose! Come ooooon, pet me!"

Gotta love 'em.

I wept for the first ten minutes, then kept tearing up all the way through, every time he thought of his dead wife. Gah. I am a sop. :P

"I hate squirrels!"

"He wears the cone of shame!"

After watching Up, I have begun to fear the day that Pixar makes a movie directed at adults.

It's still funny weeks after I've seen the movie.
